How do ya mean oversize, and why???

Going up to an 18 incher will spoil the looks and bugger your tyre choice and going wider will bugger the handling. For a wider tyre it should still fiton the existing rim. Will still bugger handling tho. Bigger wheel also means more unsprung weight which will also bugger handling.

more weight also = less speed

I assume you mean a wider tyre..... have a look at 125GP bikes, they produce loads more power than a NSR but have quite a lot skinnier tyres.
As ^they^ said a bigger tyre will give you worse handling.

I can understand what you mean though- a fat rear tyre looks the dogs Very Happy

I had a bigger rear on myne it made the bike look like a 400 too ppl that dont know bikes.

it does give you a higher top end but not enough speed in 6th to get you there you need a bloody hill to top out

IMHO I wouldn't have thought the friction would be a significant factor... the lack of power on a 125 would though.
